News & Updates

Following the announcement 3 months ago, today is the day we'll be turning off our legacy modding API. This system has been fully replaced by the new Nexus Mods API and is therefore redundant.

What does this mean?
Any applications using this service will no longer be able to log in, retrieve mod information or handle downloads from our site. We've been working with the developers who maintain some of the most popular modding tools to help them make the transition to the new API...

It’s May and that means the annual Morrowind Modathon is back to celebrate the 17th anniversary of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind - and this time around there are not only achievements waiting to be unlocked but also a huge number of keys for AAA and indie games to be won! Last year's Modathon sparked the creation of many new and exciting Morrowind mods and we are all looking forward to seeing what our community will come up with this year.

How do you feel about the design of the Nexus Mods website? Since our sites current design went live in 2017﻿ we’ve been listening to all the feedback, both good and bad, we've received from the community. Armed with that and having now filled our UI/UX designer position at the Nexus Mods office, our designer has been tasked with going through the current site layout and looking for ways it can be improved.

A few weeks ago we launched our first Screenshot Community Event giving everyone the opportunity to submit a screenshot for Skyrim, Skyrim SE, Enderal, Fallout 4, and Fallout 76 depicting the event theme "Conflict and Struggle" and potentially win one of three prizes which would be awarded at random to three different participants.

The turnout has been great with hundreds of screenshots having been submitted and we, the Nexus Mods team, as well as our co-organisers Excellentium and ...

Two weeks ago, we launched our first Screenshot Community Event giving everyone the opportunity to submit a screenshot for Skyrim, Skyrim SE, Enderal, Fallout 4, and Fallout 76 depicting the event theme "Conflict and Struggle" and potentially win one of three prizes.

The turnout has been great and we are happy to say that dozens of screenarchers - newcomers and veterans alike - have entered the event. We all - that is the Nexus Mods team as well as our co-hosts for the even...

Today we are talking to Dan Taylor, a professional level designer who has in the past worked for Eidos, Square Enix, Ubisoft, Rockstar (among others) on games such as Medal of Honor Heroes 2, Hitman: Sniper, or Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Dan - who started out as a modder for Morrowind, Skyrim, and Fallout New Vegas - has close to two decades of experience in the video game industry under his belt and his talk on Ten Principles for Good Level Design at the Game Developer's Conference 2013 is cu...

For a while now we have been thinking about new ways to increase interaction with you guys - our Nexus Mods modding community - through engaging and fun events that we can run (semi-)regularly on our site, and, moreover, support members of our community who are devoting some of their free time to engage othe...

We have been on the lookout for a dedicated Front End Developer for a while now and despite interviewing several individuals, we're yet to find the right person.

I know that lots of our users do not always see all the site news that gets posted so I am reposting the job information, just in case it catches the eye of the exact right person at the exact right time! Here is the job specification:

We are looking for an experienced front end developer to joi...

I'm late. I know, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's already the middle of February and I haven't done my usual yearly keyboard bashing session where I smash out a semi-coherent review of the previous year and talk about what we hope to get done in this year. Truth be told, I wasn't sure if anyone really wanted to read through my banal twitterings or not and whether I would do this, so let me know at the end if my time (and yours) was worth it.

Since launching our Donation Points system last year we've given away over $81,000 worth of Donation Points (DP) to mod authors. Thankfully, the reaction to this system has been overwhelmingly positive and we're extremely happy with how it has turned out.

While mod authors can exchange their DP for straight up Pay Pal donations, we've also been very happy with how many mod authors have been exchanging their DP for video game keys that we've been providing in the DP store. It's great ...

Today we are talking to jkrojmal, a long-time member of the site and avid modder. If you have ever wanted your towns and cities in Skyrim and Skyrim SE to be more than they are in the base game, then you might have run into one or several of jkrojmal's mods. His series known as JK's Skyrim is one of the most popular city overhaul compilations to date and will definitely add a lot of uniqueness and flavour to the various holds.

Good news for our X4: Foundations, Pathfinder: Kingmaker, Starsector, and 7 Days to Die communities!

Thanks to alexparlett, 6d306e73746572, LazyWizard, as well as nelson3219, who developed the respective extensions, our mod manager Vortex﻿ (which is currently in beta) now supports all four of those games (version 0.17.0 and newer).

If you are unsure about what a mod manager does, let me put it this way: Vortex gives you the ability to install an...

Since we teased it back in October, our developers have been working hard on finalising the Nexus Mods API and today I'm pleased to report we’re ready to open the virtual doors to the public.

What is the Nexus Mods API?

It’s a set of instructions developers can use to access features and information from our service. We’ve been developing the API in parallel with Vortex to ensure it has a host of useful features. This is a more modern replacement to the agein...

With the upcoming early access release of Subnautica: Below Zero, we've added a new option for Mod Authors to make copying their pages from Subnautica to the new title super easy.

Unknown Worlds are launching the stand-alone expansion to Subnautica in early access on the Discord, Epic and Steam game stores. Set in an ice-bound region of planet 4546B, after the events of the original game, Below Zero will offer a new chapter in the Subnautica universe. Core gameplay mechanics such ...

Today we are talking to Kalilies who - alongside Stealthic - is most famous for the Skyrim and Skyrim SE versions of KS Hairdos - a massively popular mod that adds a whopping 725 new hairstyles to the game.

BigBizkit: Thank you, Kalilies, for agreeing to give us an interview. To those of you who may be unfamiliar with you or your work, why don’t you tell us a bit about yourself?

Kalilies: Hi! I'm Kalilies and I live in the middle of Germany. I love making all ...

Back in April 2016 the owners of GameFront.com, Defy Media, announced that they would be shutting the site down within two weeks and that all the mods hosted on their site would no longer be available.

In order to save over 60,000 mods that would otherwise have been lost entirely, we spent hundreds of hours archiving every mod that we could from GameFront and eventually provided them for download here at Nexus Mods over the course of many months.
